ways to get around in Barcelona

[Bottlelittle]

I am looking for info on transportation in Barcelona besides car rental, and what the best way to get around the city is..we're going to Barcelona this summer and plan to see lots of museums, hit the beaches, etc;.

Besides car rental, there is the Barcelona Metro, ferries, and buses. Buses (called Aerobus) in particular are very cheap in Barcelona and a great way to reach the city from the airport.

Either way, no matter how you travel, transportation in Barcelona won't break your bank.One word of warning, it gets very hot in Barcelona in the summer so do use the air-conditioned Metro rather than walking between attractions.

Also, consider purchasing the Barcelona card rather than paying for individual fares since you'll get unlimited travel for a specific number of days.

Hello,
The first things according to me is locate your accommodation in order to choose the right and cheap transportation for you. Despite the many cheap flats Barcelona, its important to know when to use different way of transportation, because the temperatures can kill you "on foot" during the summer seasons. I know that every tourist wants to explore deeper the Barcelona culture, but sometimes its better to avoid such a trip or to check the weather conditions.
Anyway, there are many ways for transportation: rent-a-car, ferries and buses, which are not that expensive.

Regards, Aaron

if you need to figure out to find a flight at a good price, I would use Wholesale Travel. I recently took a trip there and they helped me find the right times and ports to fly to. I normally feel better talking with an agent too, and their reps are really helpful.
